How

How am I supposed to shed my bones?

How should I open what’s never been closed?

How could I find what was never lost?

How could I have killed what was never born?

How could I exhale what’s not in my lungs?

How should I get rid of what never touched my mouth?

How could I have lost what’s never been mine,

How should I keep breathing if I’ve never been alive?

What am I supposed to put out

When it’s water that burnt me to dust,

How should I resurrect from my coffin

When it’s air under what I’m buried?

How should I let go of what’s not there to hold?

How could I warm up what’s not grown cold?

How could I break an oath which wasn’t sworn?

How am I supposed to heal a heart that wasn’t torn?

How am I supposed to tell white from black

When all I see is painted blood red?

How could I love someone I never knew,

How am I to lie if I don’t know what’s true?

How should I get rid of the poison within my spine,

How am I to erase a name scratched into my skull?

How could I forgive someone who feels no regret,

How should I forget the one who’s beating in my chest?
